Property Log Book Comments

Two of us fished Tomichi for first time, started at 9 and fished until 3 PM when major storm moved into Gunnison Valley. Flows were high and water pretty murky from lots of recent rain. Tried just about everything in the fly book but only trout landed were on red San Juans. Fish wouldn't take pink/brown worms of the flashy sparkle ones, only red with beadhead. Fished from lower boundary up to house in am, had lunch then drove to upstream parking area and walked back down to red house to fish up. Great creek to fish with long runs and many deep pools. All caught were healthy browns up to 17 inches and one feisty rainbow. ~ mwooster -- August 12th, 2013

Three of us fished this property for the first time under supreme Fall weather conditions for everything, except perhaps fishing. Flow as about 30 cfs leaving much of creek very shallow. Ed and I landed eight between us on prince nymphs, while Barry from Minnesota had a field day landing 22 on his BH prince nymph. Average size was probably less than 6" but a few decent browns were landed. Very mossy bottom. Streamers, other nymphs and dries were unproductive. We worked hard, but had a blast!
The fish showed a distinct preference for flies recklessely tied on worn tippet material, museum-quality tarnished brass beads and red flashabou ribbing dangling exactly one hook shank length from the abodmen:(
An excellent property with a ton of beautiful water! Thanks for the opportunity! ~ S. Knopp -- October 7th, 2012

Two of us fished the entire stretch. Water was off color after couple rainy days - floating lots of foam. Marginal, but we fished it anyway. Could not get anything to take any dries or nymphs. Ended up using olive/black buggers. Caught total of 15 with 4-5 over 12 inches. Biggest brown was about 15 and one rainbow about the same. Did lose two much larger ones. Saw few Redds. ~ Walt -- September 29th, 2012

Caught 37 fish. Rainbows on PT below a stimmy and browns up to 19" on an autumn splendor, white bugger and black bugger, Browns are hooked jawed and spawning. ~ Chuck Prather -- September 24th, 2012

At the present time we are warning members that the Creek is quite low and that the fishing is difficult. Members that have been successful have had to resort to 6X and very long leaders. There is a lot of flood irrigating going on upstream which is affecting the flow. Thank you--RMAC ~ DB -- June 7th, 2012

Flows good at 100+-10 to 15 fish on top with small tan caddis - all browns 10-15 inch -lots of hoppers in fields but no action -one 18" bow and 17" brown on small black bugger. Browns in fine form. ~ Billj -- January 1st, 1970

Nice water with riffles, pools, and cut banks. Bugs twice during the day , but no surface activity. Fishing was better in riffles with Hopper Droppers. Pheasaht tails with flash getting several 10' Browns, and swinging a black Beadhead Wollybuggar at the bridge netted a 17" Rainbow. The lower half of the creek was the only part fished and all areas were easy to access. Thunder and rain ended the day again too early. Water level was good since irrigation had stopped.Grasses and trees protect the stream banks well, but casting is easy from the water. Pools should definitely be worked deep.
Thanks RMAC and Land Owners for making SWEET STRETCHES available. ~ john Naill -- January 1st, 1970
